[Supertuxkart-devel] Suggestion

[Yasin G. <yas...@gm...>]

Hello.
I wish to take opinions on a possible new feature. Currently we can play
soccer matches between up to 4 vs 4 players, if there are enough
controllers. What I'd like to add is a *tournament* feature. Say there are
four friends who'd like to play soccer but wish to play individually (Let's
say roommate issues. One of them doesn't clean the dishes when he is
supposed to and no one wants to play with him.) So they play as individual
karts but each kart is considered a team, and they play in a tournament.
Two karts play a match, then two others play, then the two winners from the
previous matches advance and face off against each other. Like this:

Of course I'd like this to be teams, where a team is more than one player,
There isn't much explanation needed I think; it's a basic tournament
feature.
Funto had some ideas yesterday on IRC, so I'll list them here:
"I think it could be useful, particularly in social events.
For example, that would be a great way to demonstrate STK in some open
source forum where you have a slot for STK and organize a tournament.
The same idea applies equally well to battle mode so the same code could
probably be shared between both."
